Odisha Vigilance has intensified its crackdown on corrupt engineers, with 48 engineers caught in the last 1.5 years. This includes 36 engineers in 2025 and 12 so far in 2026. Recently, raids were conducted at 7 locations belonging to Assistant Engineer Malay Kumar Nayak in Rayagada. High-profile cases include Chief Engineer Baikunthanath Sarangi, who had assets worth 9 crores. Experts suggest a deep-rooted 'PC' or commission culture within the engineering departments, where officials exploit their power in project approvals and reviews. https://otvkhabar.in/crime/vigilance-tightens-noose-after-corruption-charges-48-engineers-nabbed-in-18-months-11859731 #creator program
